Chimichanga charges ahead with first site in Berkshire

Tex-Mex chain Chimichanga is expanding its national presence with its first restaurant in Berkshire.

The brand, which specialises in salsa burgers, racks of ribs and tortilla wraps, has secured a unit at The Lexican retail development in Bracknell.

The new 3,400 sq ft. restaurant will be positioned between Gourmet Burger Company and Wagamama on Eagle Lane.

Simon Russian, development manager for Legal & General, on behalf of the Bracknell Regeneration Partnership, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Chimichanga to the new town centre. We’re confident that the restaurant complements and adds to the unique mix of restaurants already signed up to The Lexicon.

“The announcement also represents another milestone as it completes the main ground floor lettings on Eagle Lane, the main restaurant street.”

Chimichanga is well-known for its colourful and vibrant restaurants, which are designed to evoke a fun atmosphere, replicating that of a Mexican fiesta.

Cllr Marc Brunel-Walker, executive member for economic development and regeneration, said: “It’s fantastic that Chimichanga has chosen to open its doors in Bracknell. Currently you would have a 20 mile drive to the nearest restaurant in London, so this is a great vote of confidence for the town and demonstrates that well-known brands are keen to be part of our new town centre.”
